Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's possible for me to stay here indefinitely. She is not a citizen and she would not get citizenship for 10 years. And she can only stay on a family visa if I make more than £29,000 a year, which I won't because no one wants to hire me.
But can't your daughter apply for a work visa herself? Or a school one?
And what are your skills? If my countrymen, dumb as doorknobs go there and find work, it can't be that hard.
She's 14, so no work visa. And there's no such thing a grade school visa.
As far as my skills, years of media production and post production, but between chronic health issues and having to put my daughter in online school due to severe bullying, I am 5 years behind the times and, unsurprisingly, no one is interested.
She's too young, obviously. But being so young is she in risk of deportation? Families tend to enjoy a bit more liniency.
You may be a bit outdated but I'm going to risk you are not "unusable". I can't fathom what you actually do but there must be something you can do with those skills.
Yes, she is only here on a travel visa. She can stay a maximum of six months until she's here illegally.
And you would think there would be something worth hiring me for, but apparently not.
Strange laws. Children from immigrant families can enroll to school in my country even while their families are waiting for have their requests processed to become declared immigrants.
Squid, I'm going to be level with you. I risk we're in the same time zone. It's getting late and I've been awake since four a.m.; I'm running on fumes here.
Feel free to message me if you feel like chatting a bit. I spend way too much time here, under the excuse of getting some information in my head.
Keep trying, both for work and for a way to get your daughter to be safe there, here, in Europe, permanently. Please, Squid. From a father to another. We can never give up.
